Extracts from leftover coffee grounds are full of antioxidants.

ENIGMA study shows natural bacterial communities as effective geochemical sensors.

When people become severely burned, there are limited options available to repair the skin and tissue that have been affected. People must undergo painful and tedious surgery and skin transplants to repair the damaged skin and tissues. Stratatech Corp., a Madison, WI based company, has been focused on creating new treatment options for severe burns and recently developed new human skin tissue called StrataGraft that was used to heal severe burn wounds in 30 patients during a recent clinical trial. 

Thawing cells in a regulated environment presents many challenges. The need to minimize variability through standardization is crucial. Whereas the science of cell freezing has become highly standardized in order to improve and retain optimal viability and function, cell thawing has been overlooked and has much to gain from similar standardization.

Scientists have successfully replicated the molecular processes that led from dinosaur snouts to the first bird beaks

Europium and yttrium can be recovered from red lamp phosphor, a powder that is used in fluorescent lamps such as neon tubes

A publication with 940 undergraduate authors demonstrates that research experiences can be offered to far more students than has traditionally been possible

A biomedical firm that traces its origins to research done at the University of Copenhagen has been acquired by an American drug maker. The sale underscores the role the University plays in the establishment of spin-out firms and in helping society benefit from research.

The University of California, Davis, and HM.CLAUSE have partnered to open a business incubator that will help advance regional innovation in the life sciences. To celebrate this unique collaboration, a launch event was held on Thursday, May 7, at the new innovation center in south Davis.

Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) is the most widely accepted and used analytical method for  obtaining molar mass averages of both synthetic and biopolymers. Traditionally, molar mass averages are obtained via a peak position calibration involving a series of standards of known molar mass and chemistry analyzed by GPC coupled to a differential refractive index (RI) detector.

Cell-based assays have become the go-to technology for pharmaceutical, environmental, and toxicology labs. Cells are far less costly to maintain than test animals and don’t involve the ethical considerations. But the complexity of cell-based assays compared with chemical or biochemical assays presents distinct challenges to laboratory managers.
